20 years

Glad I survived my stroke two months ago and just celebrated my 20 year anniversary up at Kilauea volcano on the big island of hawaii. Went on a ten mile hike, feel like I am comming back from the stroke!

My MRI results came in. This time my neurologist actually found proof that I had a stroke. First they thought it was a TIA, then an ear ache, and then I kinda forced the issue, they did another MRI and actually found a small "disruption" on my right side of my brain. I can't tell you how relieved that makes me. Some people never get confirmation that they actually suffered a stroke and then they feel bad about it, employers don't believe them and it's generaly hard, and couple that with a real stroke, it's almost unberable.
